I thought I'd give it up for good 'cause none of my actions are understood I thought I'd really leave And me coming back's something you'd never perceive I thought I'd make it; Yes, I really thought I'd make it But then you smiled, you didn't rile me Now I'm running back Running, running back I saw a vision of a love long deceased And a chilly wind coming from East I know I can say I did my best But there were no more warm winds from the West Still I thought I'd make it; Yes, I really thought I'd make it But then you smiled, you didn't rile me Now I'm running back Running, running back I thought you'd never be missed And I really believed we'd never share another kiss And I thought for the last time I'd touched your hand But your love draws me back like quicksand Still I thought I'd make it; Yes, I really thought I'd make it But then you smiled, you didn't rile me Now I'm running back Running, running back I'm coming home
